Hi everyone,

 

We just picked up a set of two-piece Memory Foram Mattress (for my sister) made by a company called "Northern Feather". This was supposedly an expensive mattress.

 

The bottom is a dense foam, 6-7" deep, and it is "Made in Italy". The top part is 2.25" foam with a zipper cover. I couldn't get more info from the retailer or person we acquired it from.

 

For sanitary reasons we would like to change the top foam, and got the following questions:

- Shall we even bother? Isn't memory foam totally hypoalergenic, dust mite, bacteria free? Do they age and need to be replaced anyways?

- Stick to memory foam or change to a latex top?

- If memory foam, what brand/model/density do you recommend for a average height woman, weighing 140 pounds or so?

- If latex, what brand/model/density do you recommend for a average height woman, weighing 140 pounds or so?

 

Also, just one other note, we're not mattress nut! ;) so rather pick a product and be done with it. I see a lot of folks mix and match a lot of different layers of foam... we just don't have the patience and time for that.

 

Thanks a bunch!

BHSHOP20 code will give you 20% off and there is free shipping for signing up with BrylaneHome's newsletter.  I have their 1" Talalay latex topper and I feel it is a perfect feel with no seam in the Queen size topper that was quality throughout.  I do not know anything about this 1.5" all natural latex topper they are selling but you can email and ask them what ILD (softness) and if it is Talalay Latex.
